Emily Brown
“As a former division 1 track and field athlete, I’ve had first hand experience in utilizing the weight room to build strength and power, laying the foundation for my passion for powerlifting. Through coaching, I want to pass on this passion by helping others discover the benefits of weight lifting. My goal is to inspire individuals to embrace the discipline, dedication, and focus that lifting requires, while also fostering a deep appreciation for the process of continuous improvement.”
What informs your process?
“My experience as an athlete, combined with a strong foundation in education and applied coaching as an intern informs my process. I believe that anyone can optimize their skills and strength with the right guidance and mindset. ”
How do you help people achieve their goals?
“Through a deep understanding of strength training and movement, I tailor each program to your unique needs, helping you lift smarter, not just harder. I’m here to listen to your goals and guide you through the steps to get there—whether you're looking to build strength, improve your technique, or push past plateaus—ensuring that you not only reach your goals, but feel confident and empowered along the way. ”
“Knowledge, trust, and care make a good coach. As a coach, you need to know your why's, get your athletes to trust you with your programming, and care for your athletes in and outside of the gym. Caring for them as a friend rather than a client is what makes a relationship so much stronger. ”
What makes a great coach?
“A great coach is someone who combines expertise with empathy. They have a deep understanding of the science behind training but also recognize that every athlete is unique. A great coach listens, adapts, and communicates clearly, building trust and a strong connection with their athletes. They inspire through support, not just instruction, helping athletes navigate challenges and stay motivated. Ultimately, a great coach empowers their athletes to believe in themselves, teaching them not only how to achieve their goals, but how to approach growth and setbacks with resilience and confidence.”
